McDonald's start displaying calorie count on menus

Things are going to look very different in McDonald’s ‘restaurants’ from this week. Where normally the ‘diners’ would shuffle to the counter to place their order, you can now expect to first see them standing and staring at a menu, while doing some mental arithmetic or calculator-fuelled sums.

That’s because the wildly popular food-peddlers are about to start displaying the calorie count of every item on their menu, allowing diet-conscious munchers to make an informed decision before filling their faces.

The move comes as part of a voluntary government-led programme to reduce obesity and help us all become fitter not fatter. Let’s face it – if McD’s REALLY want transparency, they’ll fess up as to why Hamburglar was originally called The Lone Jogger...

Diet coke does NOT taste like fox piss; fox piss is drinkable, diet coke is only useful for removing stubborn stains or enamel paint.
(and as a spermicide if you can believe an old article in Playboy, although they did say Classic coke worked better.)

nah.. won't do anything. think it'd have to be like smoking to actually reduce obesity (numbers of smokers have reduced year on year for decades). make it cheaper to eat healthy, more expensive to eat unhealthy along with education about it, I guess.
